Miraflores Cable Car Enters Technical Testing With Mid-May Target

Opening depends on vendor installation, safety checks, municipal approval.

Overview

  • The project has moved into technical tests after stations were completed, with officials signaling a possible start of service in about six to seven weeks.
  • Final work will be done by Doppelmayr technicians who are expected in early April to mount the cabins, string the cables, and set the braking system, a job estimated to take about a month to six weeks.
  • The line, called Vaivén Miraflores, will link Parque Domodossola on the cliffside with Playa Redondo below, covering about 310 meters in roughly three minutes.
  • Two cabins of up to 15 passengers will allow wheelchairs and include racks for bikes and surfboards, with an estimated fare of about 8 soles per trip or 15 soles roundtrip.
  • El Comercio details the vendor timeline and prior municipal sanctions on Zigzag, while Correo and Gestión stress the testing phase and note that any launch window hinges on test results.
